Table 4. Growth and feed efficiency indices.

Final mean body weight, specific growth rate (SGR), relative growth rate (RGR), biological feed conversion ratio (bFCR), and economic feed conversion ratio (eFCR) values of sea bream fed with two experimental diets (CTRL and Sh108). The weight data represent the mean value ± SD (n = 300 fish/per diet). SGR, RGR, bFCR, and eFCR were tank-based determined (n = 3) and reported as mean ± SD. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences between groups (Student’s t-test, P < 0.05).

Diet	Initial weight	Final weight	SGR (% day⁻¹)	RGR (%)	bFCR	eFCR
CTRL	60.56 ± 1.44	126.84 ± 1.90	0.75 ± 0.01	109.49 ± 2.49	1.53 ± 0.05	1.55 ± 0.05^a
Sh108	60.50 ± 0.70	129.39 ± 1.12	0.77 ± 0.01	113.88 ± 3.27	1.47 ± 0.01	1.48 ± 0.01^b
